How to Inner Join using Spring Boot JPA / Hibernate in Repository? - spring

Question

I am currently learning spring boot , hibernate and Spring Boot JPA
I developing a Classroom App for coaching centers and institutes .
In it, students enrolled to multiple courses in a single institute
The Student Entity class :
#Entity
#Table(name = "student")
public class Student {
private String name;
private String dob;
private String gender;
private String address;
private String email;
private Integer mobile;
private String joined;
private Integer instID;
#Id
private String studentid;
getters and setters()....
}
Course Table Entity class
#Entity
#Table(name = "courses")
public class Course {
private String name;
private String description;
private String logo;
private String start;
private String end;
private Integer fee;
#Id
private String courseid;
private Integer instID;
getters and setters();
}
Enrolled Classes Table's Entity class
public class EnrolledCourses {
#Id
String enrollID;
String courseid;
String studentid;
Date joined;
getters and setters()...
}
JPA Repository
#Repository
public interface StudentRepository extends CrudRepository<Student, String> {
Student findTopByInstIDOrderByStudentidDesc(int instID);
}
#Repository
public interface CourseRepository extends CrudRepository<Course,String> {
}
#Repository
public interface EnrolledRepository extends CrudRepository<Course,String> {
}
My Need
Now I am retrieving enrolled students for a given course in a given institute... by using this MySQL query
SELECT
`enrolled_courses.enrollID`,
`student.name`, `student.studentid`
FROM `enrolled_courses`
INNER JOIN `student`
WHERE
`enrolled_courses.studentid` = `student.studentid`
AND
`student.instID` = 13
AND
`enrolled_courses.courseid` = '13I01C' ;
Now I need to implement this Inner join query in CourseRepository (or enrolledstudent repo)
How to achieve this ?
Please guide me

Answer 1

If we use hibernate mapping in EnrolledCourses entity like
#Entity
public class EnrolledCourses {
#Id
String enrolledId;
#ManyToOne
Student student;
#ManyToOne
Course course;
Date joined;
getters and setters()...
}
from the above mappings without using any SQL queries, you can retrieve all student who comes under a particular course
By using the method in the interface
#Repository
public interface EnrolledRepository extends CrudRepository<EnrolledCourses,String> {
List<EnrolledCourses> findByCourse_CourseId(String courseId);
}
if we have some relations between the entities we can easily retrieve all the fields using Jpa.
